LTO: Apply global DCE to ThinLTO modules at LTO opt level 0.

This is necessary because DCE is applied to full LTO modules. Without
this change, a reference from a dead ThinLTO global to a dead full
LTO global will result in an undefined reference at link time.

This problem is only observable when --gc-sections is disabled, or
when targeting COFF, as the COFF port of lld requires all symbols to
have a definition even if all references are dead (this is consistent
with link.exe).

This change also adds an EliminateAvailableExternally pass at -O0. This
is necessary to handle the situation on Windows where a non-prevailing
copy of a linkonce_odr function has an SEH filter function; any
such filters must be DCE'd because they will contain a call to the
llvm.localrecover intrinsic, passing as an argument the address of the
function that the filter belongs to, and llvm.localrecover requires
this function to be defined locally.

Fixes PR35142.
